RE­SPECT RIGHTS AND DEMOC­RACY

Oparanya urged the gov­ern­ment to re­spect mul­ti­par­tism. He said the role of the op­po­si­tion can­not be ig­nored and it should not be used as an ex­cuse to deny res­i­dents in op­po­si­tion strongholds their rights. Ikolo­mani MP Bernard Shi­nali said Kakamega must re­ceive its fair share of de­vel­op­ment be­cause it is not a favour but a right. He said the county has been side­lined in pub­lic ap­point­ments.
